Hope you or someone here can help me

You can add your self to a match but not make yourself unavaible or a maybe, how would i do this or will this be in 1.5 which i hope you are working on

I dont see the point of making yourself 'unavailable' as not putting your name down should be good enough.

Could possibly do a maybe, but I certainly wouldn't want a vague response as thats how default wins are casued. People should either turn up for a match or not.

And yes 1.5 is not by me.

The "Maybe"-option has always been useful for us, as it shows that our members have actually seen and noticed there is a match, but have'nt found out if they can make it or not...

yeah rich, we have players who would normally play but cant, the unavailable option would let war arrangers know they have seen it but cant play. if we have a 5vs5 and only 3 people post available out of 15 clan members. you have to chase twelve to get a response. if 8 could put down unavailable you would know where you stood

i have just read that back and its as clear as mud

anyways my question was or is, is think a difficult function to implement?

also hen is your next update of rwars due? (dont trust anyone elses)

My clan and I love the plugin - but a similar idea did come up. In case someone wants to know who checked the clan war info it's difficult to tell how many haven't seen it and had a chance to sign up.

Someone had the idea that it'd be nice if all clan members would be posted on the roster and they would have the choice to "add me" or "remove me". If a particular person did not select either, they'd be left in an unknown status. It's one of those "nice to have" things but I personally don't know if it's worth the hastle.

My approach is if they don't sign-up for a war, they don't play and we setup the war with the confirmed count. It sure teaches people to check the site and decide after they get the email.

I've actually been working through the code trying to make that option available on my site. So far lots of crashes, 1 close attempt.

If I get it working I'll post it.

great script though!

I agree with everyone here that the Yes/No/Maybe is a good idea. Particularly from the point of view that you can then see who took the time to look at the match and indicate their availability.

Obviously if your you dont have enough people who indicated "Yes" to a match you can then send out a message to the people who indicated "Maybe". Actually that might be a neat additional feature, "email maybe people" and it goes and sends the maybe people a message saying, we need X more many people. ??

I've got got it half working on my testing site. but working in this "unavailable feature" also makes the developer have to add an extra table data to the database and layout.

If a "Un-Available" option is to be used, the current settings wont work.
Reason:

In the current layout of the details.php file, when a user load the page, the script does a number of things.
1. It checks to see if the user viewing that page has a user class assignment of "CLAN"
2. IF the user HAS that particular user_class, than the option to "Add Me" or "Remove Me" is shown.
3. If they are not part of that user class, tjose options are not shown

Once you click on the "Add Me" button, the script automatically assumes that you are available to play. It also puts a link to you profile to the left of the UserID (username).

In order for this NEW feature to work correctly, an element has to incorporated to display the users "Status" to the left of their ID.
IE:

Player: Game Status Profiles
0efx Available View Profile
RoadKillGrill Un-Available View Profile
J-Teezy Questionable View Profile

This way you KNOW the user has seen the RWar, and has RSVP'ed that they are either Avilable or Un-Available. I've been able to add these features to the variables and if statements. And now I'm working on the display feature.

I'm no professional at this, I'm just doing this because I saw it as a feature I'd like to have on my website.

And I just realized I haven't asked Rich's permission to edit the source files... I should do that first.

I will post updates as they come!

Yes, this would be a great addition.... I enjoy gaming but chasing lazy clan members who cant be bothered to let you know wether they can be there is a bummer.....

These options would help us out no end... and give us more time for practice!

Here's a thought. Instead of having this "maybe" thing as an option, how about letting people be "alternates".

Our clan ususally has someone who doesn't want to commit to the war but will be around as an alternate in case of a no-show. I've seen other clans who actually swap players between games because some can't stay and others couldn't be on-time. This could be a helpful option if there's enough people who'd use it.

Just a thought.

Yip great plugin, but like vwar it needs an option of "not available" so that the war arrangers can see that the user has seen the war and can not play ,,therefore is 10 people are in the clan and it is a 6v6 match but 6 have put in not avaialable , then the war arranger can contact the opponent and atleast cancell the fun war,,and allow the other clan to get another opponent.

this is just 1 example of why such a feature would be good

After a very loooong time of working on this code, all (because I am a PHP/MySQL novice), I have been able to get my RWAR to accept the "Available/Unavailable/Possible" status to user selection!! As of right now, there are still a few things to work out, but in the end, it works, just like the old way, but displays the status and makes it changeable.

This way, we know who's seen the war, and who cant and cant make it. In the case we need to find someone to fill, we will know who not to call or find because they posted as "Unavailable".

Once I get it more admin friendly, and the code all tightened up. I'll send it to Rich to see what he thinks, maybe theres some stuff you can do to make it more user friendly? IDK.... just askin/suggestion. I'm still going to work on it as well.

In addition to the new statuses, I've also added a Roaster system, which will soon work with the main "user" info. I've also changed the menu plugin and some visual enhancements.

Check it out

My Team is using the rwar, too.

I bet you, Rich, to add this function, because it´s usefull for the organisation of Members who are not able to Play a Match cause of any reason.

Please add this little feature.
